CONFECTION.

Appllicationfiled September 22 1922. Serial No. 589,821.

To all whom 131; may concern."

Be it known that I, JOHN G. PAPAGEORGE, a citizen of the United States,residing at 1 Erie, in the county of Erie and State of a Pennsylvania,have invented new and useful Improvements in Confections, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to confections, and

a purpose of my invention is the provision of a confection comprising anedible container formed of separable portions adapted to be filled withan edible substance, such as icecream, sherbets and the like, andassociated with each other so that the viscosity of the substance servesto secure the portions in container formation, the container beingformed of fluted and tapered sections which are weakened along theirconnecting edges to permit of a ready re- 22 moval of any of thesectionsto allow access to the edible substance.

Although I have herein shown and described only two forms of confectionembodying my invention, the novel features of which will be pointed outin claims, it ,is to be understood that various" changes andmodifications may be made without departing from the spirit of theinvention and the spirit and scope of the appended claims. v

' In the accompanying drawings,

Figure 1 is a view showing in perspective one form of containercomprised in the confection embodying my invention;

" Figure 2 is a top plan view with certain of the sections broken awayto illustrate one manner of gaining access to the edible substancewithin the container;

Figure 3 is a view showing in side elevation a slightly modified form ofcontainer comprised in the confection embodied in my invention.

Referrin specifically to the drawings, in

, Which'simi ar reference characters refer to l similar parts, Ininvention in the embodiment shown in igures 1 and 2, comprises an ediblecontainer formed of a cooked batter similar to that of an icecream cone.This containenin the present instance, is

w composed of two semi-spherical portions designated at 15 and 16,respectively, and

each portion is composed of fluted sections 17 which are tapered inwidth from the edges of the portions to the axis thereof. The ediblematerial'of which the portions 15 and 16 are formed is relatively thin,particularly at the connecting edges of any two adjacent fluted sections17, so as to permit of the breaking of any one section from thecontainer.

Both of the sections 15 and 16 are adapt ed to be filled with an ediblesubstance such asicecream or the like, so that when the portionsare/forced together in the manner shown in Figure 3 the icecream willserve to securely hold the portions in spherical formation. The lowersection 15 is provided with a supporting handle 18 formed of the samematerial as the con tainer and arranged so that it may be gripped insupporting theentire confection with one hand while eating. The uppersection 15 is provided with a button 19 formed of the same material asthe container and, arranged in connectin relation with the small ends ofthe flute sections This button 19 is adapted to be twisted or brokenfrom the upper section 15 to facilitate any one of the flutedsectionsbeing broken away, as'shown in Figure 2, so as to allow accessto be had to the icecream within the container.

HIn Figure 3 I have shown an edible container which is also of sphericalform composed of upper and lower portions 20 and 21, respectively, eachof which is formed without the fluted sections. The lower section 21 isalso provided with ahandle 23,

while the upper section is provided with a button 24, the two operatingin the same in the member at the small ends of p the sections.
